Hi, I am trying to submit a package to CRAN that fails during the pretest process on Debian.
I use the some C++ code that interfaces to the nlopt optimization library with Rcpp/RcppArmadillo. Thus, my package requires a system version of nlopt that can be installed via the deb package libnlopt-dev (I added this to the SystemRequirements field). I use a configure script and pkg-config to retrieve the (hopefully) appropriate compiler flags which I then send to src/Makevars NLOPT_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs ${PKG_CONFIG_NAME}` NLOPT_FLAG=`pkg-config --cflags ${PKG_CONFIG_NAME}` This approach works on my system (Ubuntu 18.04, R 3.5.2) and on Travis (linux and mac OS), but fails on the Debian CRAN server : https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/PLNmodels_0.7_20190119_161032/Debian/00install.out I added some verbosity to check that the flags were correctly exported on CRAN servers, and they seems alright to me: at least, a version of nlopt is found on the system (see below, NLOPT_LIBS=-lnlopt -lm). However, the <nlopt.hpp> is not found latter on... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank for taking the time to read this. * installing *source* package ‘PLNmodels’ ...
